The award will help further develop the state-spanning trail that promotes the Hudson Valley’s native art movement. The trail was established in 2005. It currently consists of 22 sites deemed significant to the history of the Hudson River School of Painting. The grant funding will be shared among Greene, Columbia and Albany counties.
